 Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has vowed not
to change his policies on illegal immigration despite a change in
federal rules.
A new deal with Immigration and Customs Enforcement allows the sheriff
to screen inmates booked into the county jail for immigration status,
but does not extend to street enforcement.
"Nothing will change. Stay tuned," Arpaio told News/Talk 92-3 KTAR's Jay Lawrence Sunday night.

Arpaio said he will continue his policies, including crime suppression sweeps, under state human smuggling laws.
"I don't need the feds to do my crime suppression, to opt to arrest
illegals," Arpaio said. "I can do it without the federal authority."
The sheriff said he plans another crime suppression sweep soon "to show
Washington and everybody else, I'm not changing. I will not be
intimidated by Congress, by alleged racial profiling investigations by
the Justice Department."
He said he will continue to deliver illegal immigrants to ICE.
"I hope they accept them. If they don't, I'll bring them myself to the border."
Arpaio said the changes are pure politics by the Obama Administration
and congressional Democrats. He said he believes they are using him as
an example to end the policy that allows local law enforcement officers
to arrest illegal immigrants.
